Explain each of the following differences in alkene reactivity in electrophilic addition reactions.

a. C6H5CH = CHC6H5 reacts with HBr faster than CH3CH = CHCH3, even though both compounds are 1,2-disubstituted alkenes.


b. When treated with H2O in the presence of acid, CH2 = C(CH3)CH2OCH3 reacts more slowly than CH2 = C(CH3)2.
